Nutritional support is a part that couldn’t be separated from holistic management,
especially for the critically ill patients caused by surgery or non surgery procedure. In many cases, the patients get worse or even passes away due to secondary complication which is malnutrition, not
because of the primary illness. That is important thing for clinician including surgeon to understand the changing of body metabolism that happened to the process. The other important thing that couldn’t be forgotten is how to support the patient with a good nutrition. Enteral feeding is the first choice for the patient, but if contraindication was found, parenteral feeding should always be considered. The aim of this journal is to describe about parenteral nutrition through central or
peripheral veins, the indication, contraindication, technique, material and compliacation of each methode. Conclusion; parenteral nutrition especially for critically ill patients is very important to prevent secondary malnutrition, and couldn’t be separated from the holistic management.
